This is the basis of my sermon this Sunday, I just want to know if it will offend anyone. All comments will be welcome.
Whatever happened to trust, to love, to caring for each other, to a handshake sealing a deal, to the idea that life is sacred, to brotherly love, to the idea of live and let live? Why do we all blame each other? It is nobody's fault except our own. WE have allowed it all to happen by not caring about each other but just caring about ourselves - we are all as guilty as each other. When are we humans going to realise that we are all connected to each other, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, etc, American, English, Iraqi, Iranian, and yes even the French etc. We are all the same, all part of this wonderful creation by God. Why do we not open our eyes to God?s love?
God?s love is the foundation of our fondest dreams, a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely places and this radiance that never fades, this mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all, one known only by those who accept God?s love.
So let?s pass on that love ? next time you see a Jewish person, say ?Happy Hanukah? (12th Dec) or ?Happy Muharram? (18th Dec) to a Muslim or to a Christian ?Merry Christmas? (25th Dec). It won?t hurt you!
Peace,
but it has to be a sincere,does it not?
I mean, sure, i can wish anything to anyone but at the end of the day, it comes down to honesty,right?Peace.

But what is insincere about it? If I say to a Jew "Happy Hanukah", I mean that I hope they have a happy time during their celebration of Hanukah. As a God-alone Christian, I do not celebrate Jesus, but I will always say "Merry Christmas" to a traditional Christian because I truly do wish them a great time.

I''ll post my little analasys/report on christmas after work inshallah.
Personnally, I think christmas is a Pagan Holiday used by Capitalists Corportations to encourage Consumerism.
It make it acceptiable to the christian world, They Implamented Jesus Christ in the story. That way it seems "okay".Well.. it's very much quite similar to 'encircling the black stone' rites which is a Pagan custom used by the Arabs to encourage Tourism to Makkah.
Thus they make it 'mandatory' to the Muslim world, they implanted Muhammad, Angels, Abraham, Ishmail and many other myths into the story.
That way they make it "Mandatory" for every one claimed to be Muslim to do such rites.Anyway I Wish A Happy and Peaceful Holiday To You All.. on whatever day you considered as holy..
Salam / Peace

The best one I had was today, when a work colleague who knows I'm muslim wished me a merry christmas....... and she's an atheist.
laugh
I think communication of the sentiment is the main thing people wish to express.
I agree, and that sentiment is not a bad thing

I feel bad for the Kind Hearted Christians who actually Like and beleive in this Holiday...
Meaning, I feel bad for them in a Genuinely Nice way...(Not being sarcastic or arrogant).
Because, There is SO much "Evilness" that has made this Holiday so Commercialized and Immoral....Its like Society has Lost its "Respect" for Christmas, and Lost its True Spirit for it. (whether its a real or fake holiday)...
For instance, I was watching a Commercial today about a Movie that is Coming out called "Its Complicated"
what P***ed me off was that The movie is about a Love Triangle with a Divorced woman, who is In her sexual prime, and Loves a new man, but also Loves her Ex, and its all cooky crazy complicated sexual affairs going on...Well, this didnt make me ENTIERLY angry because there is always Stupid Movies like this and Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, etc...
But the real part that mad me mad was that It comes out on CHRISTMAS DAY! Out of ALL THE DAYS to come out.Its like, wow, Lets take the day that is Supposed to be about Family Values...and release this Movie about Sexual Affairs with Divorced Sexual Women.
Yeah! thats REALLY family orientated. In fact, Everyone Please bring your family to see it on Christmas day...yeah.... yuck brickwall confusedOh, what is the world coming to?
